Old Girl/Shining Star

Lyrics

[Hook: Melanie Rutherford] Old girl Remember that you're a star You shine Even when it seems afar Remember Who and what you are 'Cause girl, you are my shining star [Verse 1: eLZhi] This to you single parent mothers Raisin' the youth in the gutter No phones, spendin' days at the booth with ya numbers Baby daddy left you when you stomach and your breasts grew You thought that he was special Only if you just knew But you don't need him, and it sucks He ain't leavin' extra bucks When it's freezing, catch a bus, just to feed 'em I know at times, your situation seems pretty bad It's gon' get better, my golden treasure Without you, sunshine, it wouldn't be no day You just started shine through my way Now all my ladies say... [Hook: Melanie Rutherford (T3)] Old girl (Old girl) Remember that you're a star (You're a star) You shine (You shine) Even when it seems afar (Seems afar) Remember (Remember) Who and what you are (You are) 'Cause girl, you are my shining star (Yeah, I know it's hard for you) (You're a star) [Verse 2: T3] Yeah Got your moms kinda concerned Didn't trust your daddy much, he just delivered the sperm Then he was out just like them color Levi's Medium shirts, Mayn buckles, and Adidas And through it all, she never threw it in your face Had to work two jobs, get a smaller place And she stayed in church, renewing her faith Kept her head above the water with just minimum wage Trying to keep her boy up out the hookers Where she from, dawg, it ain't all good All my mothers say... [Hook: Melanie Rutherford] Old girl (Old girl) Remember that you're a star (You're a star) You shine (You shine) Even when it seems afar (When it seems afar) Remember (Remember) Who and what you are 'Cause girl ('Cause girl), you are my shining star (You are a star) [Verse 3: eLZhi] Girl, never let life get you down Wish I could sit you down It's beef, face to face When you leave basic faith Just keep your head up high It was once said to cry It's good to get it all out You should get rid of all doubt For, you the truth, that I adore and it's really 'cause You never had your kids feeling more poor than they really was You worked your fingers to the bone Just to keep the ringer on your phone Lights and heat up in your home [Verse 4: T3] Yeah I hope you take it as inspiration Don't let situations, try your patience It gets rough, but you'll weather the storm Always came with a hustle when the right was smores So we wrote this song, just for you 'Cause it take a lot of guts just to do what you do Most couldn't understand or walk a mile in your shoes Plus the love that I got, we appreciate you [Hook: Melanie Rutherford] Old girl Remember that you're a star You shine Even when it seems afar Remember Who and what you are 'Cause girl, you are my shining star [Outro: eLZhi (Melanie Rutherford)] All the ladies say... yeah (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo) To the single parent mothers (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo) Holdin' them bridge cards (Doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, doo, doo-doo) And gotta go to the laundromats on Sundays and drag they kids with em All the ladies say...
